In this article, we explore how migrants establish and operate small and medium-sized enterprises in the host country while navigating liminality and developing appropriate entrepreneurial strategies. We use a multiple-case study of Russian-speaking migrant entrepreneurs in Germany to explore how the integration of entrepreneurial migrants into the host country depends on their agency, ability to enter new contexts, adaptive strategies, perceived country of origin, and connections to diasporas. The study contributes to migrant entrepreneurship by explaining how migrants strategise and diminish their liminality by leveraging their portfolio of capabilities and resources to establish, grow, and transform entrepreneurial ventures.
